Thanks for reposting my post !

Must be a little bit EXTRAVAGANZA for the 19-YEAR ANNIVERSARY

In today's measurement of the fast-paced world whereas people tend to like everything be instant, quick quick quick... a period of 19 YEARS seems to be in quite remote distant

Indeed we at this PDF Column should thank you, Deino, for the cool, good remembrance pics of a decade-long event!

#Correct the typo: 19 i/o 10 years

 

[Deino]

Not surely how You come to the 10th anniversary, but the J-10's maiden flight occurred at 23rd March 1998 ... so not 10 years' anniversary but 19th "birthday" !
